The HP StorageWorks LTO-4 Ultrium 1760 Tape
Drive, based on fourth-generation LTO technology, is the highest capacity, 1.6
TB compressed per cartridge, fastest performing, 576 GB per hour, half-height
tape drive in the StorageWorks family providing hardware data encryption to
deliver the ultimate direct attach data protection solution for entry level and
for midsized customers. It is available in both SCSI and SAS models.

AES 256-bit hardware data encryption provides
easy-to-enable security to protect the most sensitive data and prevent
unauthorized access of tape cartridges. By using LTO-4 encryption, not only is
data fully capable of being compressed therefore maximizing capacity, encrypted
backups are completed without a loss in performance.

The Ultrium 1760 Tape Drive is fully read and
write compatible with all fourth and third generation Ultrium media and offers
further investment protection through its backward-read compatibility with
second-generation Ultrium media.

Features and Benefits:

High capacity:
Stores up to 1.6 TB of data on a single data cartridge using 2:1 compression.
High capacity drive reduces the costs associated with data protection by
requiring fewer data cartridges to complete backups.

Higher performance with
dynamic data rate matching: Provides an optimized compressed data
transfer rate of 576 GB/hr allowing customers to scale their backup capacities
without having to increase their backup windows. HP's exclusive dynamic data
rate matching feature can match the throughput of the host and reduce starting
and stopping the tape drive.

Half-height form factor
for easy installation and integration: Allows for installation into all
standard 5.25-inch media bays.

Management and
diagnostics software included: Tape drive management, performance
optimization, and troubleshooting are made simple using the HP StorageWorks
Library and Tape Tools application that is included with the HP Ultrium 1760
Tape Drive.

Server compatibility:
Qualified on HP ProLiant, Integrity, 9000, NonStop, and AlphaServers
platforms, as well as many servers from other leading vendors such as Dell,
IBM, and Sun. Support for heterogeneous hardware and software platforms
provides customers with a single tape drive solution for all environments.
